I know everyone NEEDS a job, but fellas, there are better and bigger things to be doing then to slave away with ABSOLUTLY NO end in sight, remember your dignity, self respect and and WORTH. If you choose to do the job you determine your worth and all of the above at the rate the are willing to give. Please remember its basic economics... As long as you line up to take the job, why should ANYTHING improve?
Just an observation from a guy who was among you and now isnt, by choice. Best move I ever made and I truly hope you can say that as well one day regardless of your career paths.
You all are hard working professionals and deserve better. Start asking for what you deserve and dont settle for less.
Good luck to all.
The problem isn't with the people who take the job. It's with the people who agree to the contracts. They are the ones that determine what pay and work rules will be, not people taking the job. The only way your argument applies is if the company is just starting up. If you are looking to blame someone for the compass contract, it's NWA pilots. They agreed to it. Here's the really sad part is that it's actually worse than their bankruptcy contract.
